i7 4790K going from 75-90 degrees under load! is this normal?

BruneRunar · Jul 11, 2016

Im using the stock fan and im not overclocking, I did not apply any thermal paste as there where three stripes of thermal paste on the cooler, in overwatch i get about 75 degrees max, and in bf4 i get 75-90 degrees (celcius) , is this normal. i did not smear out the thermal paste or anything. is it becouse i have a itx case? i have the Cooler master elite 120 case. Plz help!!!!

no, it's not good.
What graphics card do you use ?
What are the temperatures if you remove the case cover ?

Does running with the case open reduce the temperatures significantly?

BruneRunar · Jul 11, 2016

I do have a MSI GTX 970 4GB too, and im not sure if it gets cooler without my case on. (Im on vacation)

Let us know when you return.

DonkeyOatie :

Hi!

I have now runned bf4 and overwatch with the case open. The temps in bf4 where about 74-77 degrees, and overwatch runned at about 66-69

what do you guys think about upgrading to this cabinet?

If you have no optical drive, look at Define S. I like it way more

and my temps are normal? (i do have a optical drive btw)

Is it CPU Cores or CPU temperature ?
have you removed the case cover ? (like this https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AJaWR1Ro9qA/maxresdefault.jpg)
What is your room temperature ?

i did remove the case cover like that, and in msi afterburner it said it was cpu temperature. i live in norway and the temps outside right now are about 20 degrees.

bruh get an aftermarket cpu cooler. Yes, those load temps are not unexpected for stock intel coolers (small heatsink, no heatpipes, inefficient heat dissipation through small fan). If you get a 212 evo, load temps will drop down to 20 C compared to the stock fan cooler.

If u invest in more money, like the cryorig h5, u can drop it further down several more degrees. Do you ever wonder why people who do pc case mods are always enthusiastic about [liquid] cooling and such? Because they care about temperature ranges due to overclocking and long hours of gaming. If you are going into gaming, you need extra cooling solutions - otherwise you'll eventually overheat your components, costing you time, money, and energy.

n0ns3ns3 · Jul 20, 2016

He can not get an 212 - look at the case - he needs a low profile air cooler or something like Arctic Liquid Freezer 120 (or 240 if there a place for it)

@BruneRunar - than it's still quite high. a bad mounting might be the reason. so at least try to remount the cooler. better with new thermal paste.
Since your temperatures dropped significantly after removing the case cover, seems like there is not enough airflow in the case.
An AiO kit like the Arctic Liquid Freezer 120 ( 240 will require some creativity to fit it) would be an ideal solution
